Hi everyone! I’m trying to find a way to use Jira for managing our project’s backlog, stories, tasks, and workflow while working with Cursor. So far, I haven’t had any success. I’m starting to think it might not be possible yet, but I’m hoping someone here has figured it out.
I’ve tried a few things, including some third-party tools, but nothing seems to work smoothly. Has anyone in the community managed to get Cursor and a Jira MCP server to play nice together? If so, I’d love to hear about your setup and any tips you might have.
It would be really helpful to have Jira’s powerful issue management features integrated with Cursor. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d benefit from this kind of setup. Any advice or experiences you can share would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!
hey there, i’ve been struggling with this too. havent found a perfect solution yet, but i’ve been using trello as a middleman between cursor and jira. it’s not ideal, but it kinda works for now. maybe worth trying? good luck finding something better tho!
I’ve been in a similar situation, attempting to integrate Cursor with Jira MCP. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a direct way to connect them seamlessly. However, I’ve developed a workaround that might be useful. I use Zapier to create automated workflows between Cursor and Jira. It’s not perfect, but it allows for basic synchronization of tasks and updates. The setup takes some time, but once it’s running, it significantly reduces manual work. Another option worth exploring is using Jira’s API to build a custom integration, though this requires more technical expertise. While not ideal, these approaches have helped me maintain some level of connection between the two systems.
I’ve been grappling with this issue for a while now, and I can tell you it’s not straightforward. After numerous attempts, I found a partial solution using Jira’s REST API and a custom Python script. It’s not perfect, but it allows me to pull data from Jira into Cursor periodically.
The script fetches issues, tasks, and story points from Jira and updates a local JSON file. I then have Cursor read this file to display relevant project information. It’s a bit clunky and requires manual running, but it’s been a lifesaver for keeping our team aligned.
One caveat: this setup doesn’t allow for real-time updates, so we still need to check Jira for the most up-to-date information. It’s not ideal, but it’s been a workable compromise until a more robust integration becomes available.
If you’re comfortable with coding, I’d be happy to share more details about the script. It might give you a starting point for your own integration efforts.
